How do you deal with writer’s block?

When I hit a snag or wonder where I'm going with an issue or the flow, I can refer to the TOC and get back on track.

In fiction, clearly writer's block is more of a problem because I don't have any published fiction works yet! But that's more a function of time and focus. However, I love Scrivener for organizing novel timelines, characters and chapters. The bulletin board feature allows you to see everything at a glance, sometimes a great help when you realize that the MC is supposed to be one place when she's really in another! (less)

Client FAQs – Third in a Series

I’m getting back to my blog after a long absence and that is true of the FAQ series as well. So, let’s get started.

Whether someone schedules one appointment, or a series of appointments with me I ask them to email me a list of issues they hope to cover. For them, it helps to organize their thoughts and focus their time. For me, it allows a preview of their thinking and goals. Oft

Deborah’s Quotes

“At some point during almost every romantic comedy, the female lead suddenly trips and falls, stumbling helplessly over something ridiculous like a leaf, and then some Matthew McConaughey type either whips around the corner just in the nick of time to save her or is clumsily pulled down along with her. That event predictably leads to the magical moment of their first kiss. Please. I fall ALL the time. You know who comes and gets me? The bouncer.”
